Tenement steps - The Motors

The Motors were formed in London in 1977 by Nick Garvey, Andy McMaster, Rob Hendry (quickly replaced by Bram Tchaikovsky) and Ricky Slaughter. Their third album, 'Tenement steps' was released in 1980. The title track was released as a single, and was often played on Dutch radio at the time. It didn't become a hit.

It stuck in my mind, nevertheless, and so when the opportunity came up to buy this single cheaply, I grabbed it.

My collection: 7" single no. 267
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, 1984
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Tenement steps' / 'Here comes the hustler'
Download: Album 'Airport (Greatest Hits)', including both tracks (part 1 / part 2)
